Peru drug trafficking scam
The Foreign Office is warning that Britons are being targeted by drug barons luring them to Peru with the promise of a financial reward.

The Foreign Office said British nationals are being contacted through email scans and warns that those who respond and collect the ‘gifts’ face detention for drug trafficking.
